i had not seen this blog on recalls until now. i was going through the list and the mirka popped out. i dont have the ceros though, mines the deros. thought maybe i could score a new sander 😁 thanks for doing this as many never hear about these recalls.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
You're right, Pottz. Most people have no idea how many items are recalled . . . until it's too late to do anything about it. I realize fine woodworkers don't use framing nailers for their craft, but most of us also build our own homes, etc. and might use framing nailers. I only list tool-related items here, but dozens of items are recalled monthly, mostly related to children (toys, clothing, cribs, etc.). L/W
